It will be observed from the above list that the words agree practi¬

Lir, ghar and panzir were given me as alternatives for house, the n 
in the last word being a distinct and strong cerebral nasal, and the r of 
lir being also strongly cerebral. I heard the cerebral n again in miin, 
“ be silent,” and perhaps Dr. Leitner means his munn to represent a 
hard or cerebral sound. 
Dr. Leitner gives the imperative as ending in o, e. natzo, see thou ; 
wendo, hear thou, (but also wendus, regarding which see below). However, 
as far as I could make out, the imperative is the plain stem. Thus, 
sandiin, to go, sand, go; walun, to come, wal, come. The instances at 
hand altogether are so few, and my attempts to get sentences, as I will 
show hereafter, so unsuccessful, that nothing can really be said as to 
what the imperative is. 
Dr. Leitner uses all three accents a a a over hi§ vowels and it is 
hard to say therefore what the force of each is in the absence of an ex¬ 
planatory note. The difference, therefore, observable between his vowels 
and mine may be merely graphic and not real. 
In three words I could not get the Haqqash to give Dr. Leitner’s 
forms, viz., for “ man, woman and mother.” Also the words for salt, 
sugar and sweet present a very remarkable peculiarity. It will be ob-
